Chamaedorea metallica
| Synonymy: None | Distribution: Mexico |

A pretty Parlour palm relative sharing all the attributes of that over-used species, but considerably more
attractive, with up to 40 leaflets a side on each feather-shaped, glaucous leaf. Easy care, low light
tolerant. Two to three plants per pot, tall and narrow profile.
